https://knifedogs.com/threads/new-production-bali-release-dog-bite-db3-1.46488/invalid@example.com (BossDog)BossDogThis is the new Dog Bite DB3.1 bali, an upgraded version of the DB3.
These are in final assembly and packaging now and will be sold thru BladeHQ. They should have them in a couple weeks.

Pivot hardware has been upgraded from 1/8" to 3/16" pivot and bushing. These are tight and dead quiet with very little handle play.
Blade choices now include Elmax or 440C.
We tweaked on the finish a bit with a combination of bead blast and tumble.

This was given to me and I think it has some value to it. I would be willing to send it in to a repair facility. Benchmade is no help. I contacted them. I would just love to restore it to it's original glory. Stainless steel. I have gotten all the red paint off now.

https://knifedogs.com/threads/balisong-value-please.46639/invalid@example.com (GUNNER63755)GUNNER63755I was recently given a Benchmade Balisong Knife. I was told it is a model 10. Even got the Benchmade nylon case with it. Only flaw was that I had to replace the T latch. Looks mint otherwise. The butterfly on one side of the blade has Balisong written in it. The other side of blade has Benchmade with USA under that. Years produced? Value? Thanks for your help.]]>0Back to Balisong!

I use to flip the balisongs when I was younger, like much younger, and have recently found some of my old blades which has made me want to get back into balis. Mine are old and worn out tho so I want to get a new one. I use to buy in the $30-50 range but I want something a bit better now, around the $100 range give or take $20. I have been eyeballing the Bear Ops Song VI and the Bear Ops B-500-ALBK-B but finding any real reviews on these seems to be a bit difficult. The...

https://knifedogs.com/threads/mauricio-dobruski-balisong.45778/invalid@example.com (Never-2-Many)Never-2-ManyThis was from a special run of 10 pieces by Dobruski Knives.

These follow Terry's very popular Karambit-Song, Ring Fighter and Goblin series.

These Gargoyle's all have 6AL-4V Ti handles, 154CM blades and are running on the IKBS Bearing System.
All marking are on the spacers leaving the blades sterile.
And these have Terry's own design coil Spring Latch.

New to the forum here, been lurking and wanting to make a balisong. Seeing a gentlemen's really nice balisongs at the Denver knife show inspired me to go for it. I just made my own blade and swap out the pivots on this one. The blade is 154cm.

I have a second one that has scales I made from plate steel I found laying around. Hope to finish it after two other knives I am working on.

Thanks - Jack...

Anyway somehow I managed to get a BM42 clone from aliexpress through customs. Its really nice to flip but after 5 minutes of flipping the pivot pins become loose. I've been searching and searching but I cannot seem to find the exact size of the pivot, could anyone help me? According to a few balisong forums, these washers are suitable for my balisong...

The waterjet cut wasn't really clean, i cleaned everything, grinded the blade, heat treat it (differential oil hardening and full quench for the second and tempering to 200°c.)

I did a third blade with 90MCV8 but i cleaned it too much and decreased the thickness to 3.6. The original...
